Secrets

Will one day my voice be silenced? One day I will cease to exist.. I keep my secrets to myself now, I should no longer share the inner workings of my mind I’ll keep them hidden away in a dark room, I lock that door and walk away… I step into the light and feel it’s warmth on my skin for the first time in years I feel involuntary tears fall down my cheeks, tasting the saltiness of each one on my lips as I realize the true beauty of what I am truly looking at I walk into a world full of vivid colours, so dream like I almost don’t believe it could be real to me Living in the dark for so long will do strange things to your soul, taint you in ways someone from your world could never fully comprehend Knowing me this way, knowing some of this can you really stand there looking at me? I’m naked and exposed for this new world to see, can you stand there still and tell me you love me…
